Currently, GamesByEmail.com uses some 80,000+ dice rolls for play in games like Backgammon, Gambit (a RISK clone), W.W.II (an Axis & Allies clone) and others. To generate the dice rolls, I have used Math.random, Random.org and other sources, but have always received numerous complaints that the dice are not random enough. Some players have put more effort into statistical analysis of the rolls than they put into their doctoral dissertation.
A few years ago I tinkered with a dice rolling machine made from Legos. Though great fun, it was noisy and cantankerous and unreliable, and it never recovered from the move two years ago. But it had made players happy, at least for a while. So I decided to make a 'professional' grade rolling machine
Okay so this paragraph in summary says dice rolls aren't random enough! Thats it, nothing else, the summary says dice rolls aren't random.
Good good glad we got that done next paragraph

Okay this paragraph tells us that there is a machine to roll dice, hmm okay awesome lets sum up the two paragraphs....
Dice aren't random enough and machines roll dice
Next paragraph to summerize
The result is what you see here: a machine that can belch a continuous river of dice down a spiraling ramp, then elevate, photograph, process and upload almost a million and a half rolls to the server a day.
Okay this machine takes picture and sends to a server! done, this paragraph is done.
Done I've summerized the entire article, how hard is it to read NOT between the lines, don't expand, don't read into, don't over analysis anything. Look it over get the fact and then your done, Only "ender" and me can seem to do that, and BTW I got the quotes from the article
So what don't I understand, This machine rolls dice because dice rolls in computers aren't random enough, it takes pictures and sends them to a server to be looked at. THATS IT THAT IS ALL THIS MACHINE DOES. Stop telling me I don't know how to read english, If you didn't get that, then you don't how to read english because you over read that article, that's all this is about nothing else.
I've just proven my point and shown that I know what I'm talking about!
Thanks

If people aren't happy with the random dice rolls in games then how about getting off the computer and opening up the board game, although of course a person can influence the dice rolls with how they throw the dice so are you telling me that humans don't have random enough rolls. This problem is not serious if people are so concerned that there games don't have random enough dice rolls then don't play the game. There meant for fun, it's not like there going to use these dice rolls to vote a government in.
People need to grow up and stop being so bothered by something so small, this is a very very little problem, I'm sure there get by.
So I did actually read the article, So it rolls dice very nice, It take pictures of the rolls and sends the pictures to a server. The dimensions of the is machine are The Dice-O-Matic is 7 feet tall, 18 inches wide and 18 inches deep. It has an aluminum frame covered with Plexiglas panels. Any other question about me not reading the article. I've read it and I don't see the point of this machine.

I just don't see the application this Robot solves and how anyone or why anyone would fund this but then again maybe it will produce something we can use.
